Romans 10:9, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
 
This verse in Romans is part of what is known as the “Roman Road to Salvation.” You might ask “what’s the Roman Road?” The Roman Road is a way of explaining the good news of salvation using verses from the Book of Romans. It is a simple but powerful method of explaining why we need salvation, how God provided salvation, how we can receive salvation, and what the results of salvation can be.

On February 21, 2005, I was at a place in my life where I felt alone and empty. Some friends wanted to hang out and “party” but I choose to stay home, not realizing what was about happen. Prior to this date, I had finished community service at a church (met a cool pastor), went to a few church services, and raised my hand a few times at the altar calls. I don’t remember a lot of the sermons but what I do remember is the Pastor saying, “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, you will be saved.” As I was alone in my apartment feeling guilty for the life I lived, I started talking to God, asking for forgiveness and saying “ the guy at the church said if I confess Jesus and believe I’ll be saved.” When I was done talking, I felt nothing. I thought, “that’s it?” or maybe I said it wrong. Then I heard a still, small, almost audible Voice say, “What do you mean is that it? It’s just begun.”

Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void."
